Having carefully examined the order of lower authorities, we find that the contentions of the assessee with regard to lesser receipt of sale consideration were not examined by the revenue authorities.

If need be, reference may be made to the DVO to ascertain the fair market value. 8. In the result, the appeal stands allowed for statistical purposes.
